Homosexuality a trend?

by **German-Spanish Empire** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 4:19 pm

Hey NSG! After doing to some observation I have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is somewhat of a trend. Now before you start calling me all types of assholes,please,here me out on this!

It's fair to say that in the "olden" days,homosexuality was well,not acceptable among family. It's also fair to say that since the beginning of the new millennium that homosexuality has somewhat skyrocketed among teens. Now let's all admit that at one point in time we all went through a phase of some sort. Weather it be, being goth or something of that nature, then we sort of grew out of it.

Nowadays kids think that homosexuality is...cool! Let's look at one video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJGuMEZhxgY. Since when did homothug among children become...cool?

But I know many of us have different opinions so please:

Slurs against gays

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A TREND. It is NOT a choice. It is NOT a phase. It is NOT a fad.
For fuck's sake

Would you say being black became a trend in the 60's? No? There we go.

No.
It's simply that people can be gay without being either six feet under or six feet into the closet nowadays.

The choice part can be debated.

At one point being gay was a mental illness...

People were stupid back then.

And at one point being black was considered a curse. Tolerance does not make something a trend.

That I agree with. I know people that had kids and were married then as soon as it was acceptable,they "came out".

I find many homosexual people quite cool. Some of my favourite people (mostly actors in this case) are homosexual. The society I live in is reasonably tolerant of homosexuality. Nonetheless, the idea of myself having sex with another man is still rather repulsive to me. So using myself as an example, no, homosexuality is not a trend.

There used to be a time in many cultures where homosexuality was quite acceptable, even normal, to be a part of one's love life. Just look at Classical Greece or Rome.

You could, but you'd be wrong.

Well, yes. They suppressed/hid their feelings until they felt safe from being persecuted because of them. This is not unexpected.

No, it can't be. No one chooses their sexuality.

And diseases were once caused by imbalances in the bodily humours. I don't really care what medical science "used" to call something, modern psychology has determined that being gay isn't a mental illness.

I believe some were born that way,but some make the choice,to get attention.

To be fair, people can argue entirely wrong things.

Or perhaps... they felt pressured to live a 'normal' lifestyle according to society until they just couldn't do it anymore. My source, you say? The gays that I know in this area, at least 4 of them have kids, have all described the same conclusion. Yet they are still incredible parents, because they've taken responsibility for their children's lives even though they've decided to pursue what they've truly felt in their hearts.

No.

Egalitarian homosexuality was only particularly accepted among the Celts and the Scandinavians.

The Greeks and Romans just ignored some particular kinds of homosexuality, out of their generally repressive patriarchal beliefs and culture.

Show me an example of someone who has done this. Anyone.

Do you have any idea what kind of attention coming out attracts, especially in very religious communities?

It isn't the good kind of attention.
